The Hills mayor Michelle Byrne wants the state government to consider putting Round Corner on the Western Sydney Light Rail Network — a plan Dural and Round Corner Chamber president Rod Cuevas has praised as "visionary".

While she welcomed the state government's decision to investigate 10 potential routes for a future network, Cr Byrne said Round Corner was a gateway to the rural north of not only The Hills shire but also Hornsby and the Hawkesbury.

"It's only logical that it could be the entry point into a future light rail network," she said.
